Decision Points
It's very rare that I come across a book that I don't want to put down. Maybe it's because I get bored or I'm really not interested. I had heard good things about George W. Bush's …

This is a glimpse into the life of an unsatisfied 20-something trying to get his feet on the ground. The humor is dry and unsual but still relatable.
